After Juniper, we have another research company exploring the prospects of the mobile video calling services. It’s In-Stat which has found that this market’s total revenues will exceed $1 billion by 2015.
Obviously, they point out that video calls are nothing new, but they returned to the spotlight following Apple’s introduction of the iPhone 4 and FaceTime.
Some of the highlights from the report include:
- The number of mobile video calling users will grow at a 115% CAGR through 2015.
- Asia/Pacific will consume 53% of the mobile video calling minutes used by 2015.
- Mobile video calling participants of note include Apple, Fring, OoVoo, Qik and Skype.
- In 2015, mobile video calling will result in over 9 exabytes in data traffic in North America.
As usual, more information is available for those who grab In-Stat’s full report titled “Mobile Video Calling: Market Analysis and Technology Adoption Estimates.” Additional details on that one are available from the company’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
